Not "hard" for us, no, even if an unnecessary burden. Now go make some small veterinary clinic with no "computer person" on hand, with a small website they had set up years ago that lets you schedule appointments, figure all this out. They'll probably either stay uncompliant or have to drop the website.



That's a shame, but it's a side effect of anything ever that requires an update. Any small business commissioning a site in 2019 will get something that's compliant, so it's not like this is a permanent drain.

Sometimes it's important to update regulations, despite the inertia of existing implementations.


This attitude reminds me of a quote: "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make."


Better than the idea that we can never change any law because someone will have to adjust to it.


Running a single server for a small business is hard anyway they’re occasionally going to need support.

As the first offense only seems to result in a warning, they have a chance to figure things out. Then is asking their webdev to schedule a cron job to delete logs really such a burden?
